Examples

The following example demonstrates how to use the Equals method. To run this example, paste it into a Windows Form. Handle the form's Paint event and call the CharacterRangeEquality2 method from the Paint event-handling method, passing e as PaintEventArgs.

private void CharacterRangeEquality2()
{

    // Declare the string to draw.
    string message = "Strings or strings; that is the question.";

    // Compare the ranges for equality. The should not be equal.
    CharacterRange range1 =
        new CharacterRange(message.IndexOf("Strings"), "Strings".Length);
    CharacterRange range2 =
        new CharacterRange(message.IndexOf("strings"), "strings".Length);

    if (range1.Equals(range2))
        MessageBox.Show("The ranges are equal.");
    else
        MessageBox.Show("The ranges are not equal.");
}

Remarks

You can also use Equality to test for equality.
